The Walking Dead, an AMC hit series based upon a graphic novel, has brought the horror of a blockbuster zombie films to television and does it over and over every week! Telling the story of sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) who wakes from a coma to find the civilization destroyed, and the world over run by decomposing corpses that move and feast on the living. We follow Rick as he seeks out his family and safety from what may very well be the end of the human race. With two seasons under its belt, the show is priming for a third season which is said to be even more heart pounding than its predecessors.

Season 2 of Walking Dead ended on such an intense note, that it left viewers crying in outrage as they were forced to wait until Season 3 to see the fate of what was left of the team that we met in Season 1. Well, cry no longer my friends, as AMC has announced that on this weekend (July 7th and 8th) they will be hosting a special Preview Weekend to help placate the fans.

This weekend will include a 19 episode marathon of the hit series, showing from beginning to end of the road which we have walked on so far. Each episode will be introduced by Chris Hardwick from the Season 3 set in Atlanta. Following the marathon, an original episode of ‘Talking Dead’ hosted by Hardwick, which will air once and only once. In this Talking Dead Hardwick will show a scene from Season 3, as well as new interviews with members of cast and production. After the Talking Dead, AMC will place the cherry on top by showing a never before seen black-and-white Walking Dead pilot episode, which will follow the original story of to the comic series which inspired the show.

While this is not the type of preview week I would like (personally, I think the name is a tad bit misleading), it will probably keep me comfortable until Season 3 starts in October. The team decided to release this preview a week before ComicCon. Will this weekend help gain the show even more popularity, or alienate more fans of the comic? There is only one way to find out. Barricade your living room, turn on your TV and get comfy for this Zomb-tastic weekend.

Below is a preview for Season 3, with interviews from various cast members. Beware, there are spoilers that hint at the events of Season 2, so if you have yet to finish up, don’t watch this video.
